From reading what you've said I can tell that you Love Pattaya, and rightly so. I get to visit Pattaya usually 3 times a year, and I love the place. The reasons that you wrote about food, beaches and all the fun that can be had. Bangkok as you also said is nothing in comparison to Pattaya. Great to here from someone like yourself who loves the place. I am due to visit again in 6 weeks and I cannot wait.
